And now, as Wiggia predicted, there are two...
The ferrets in a sack scramble to become the next PM hardly gives any of us confidence that the country will be in safe hands. In the real world we would discount two candidates straight away:
Sunak for having plotted his coup months before and made a promotion video to help his cause, not easy to accept after that - he is a team player, is it? - and Zahawi, promoted to chancellor by Boris despite being under investigation by the HMRC for tax irregularities. So much for parliamentary scrutiny on both counts.
Liz Truss puts herself forward as the one who will make Brexit work, despite having formerly being a Lib Dem and latterly a remainer. She is also the most wooden of all the candidates. I don’t really care about those aspects of an MP if they are any good, but there is something more than her wooden exterior that is wrong: do we believe her?
Jeremy Hunt, another who would have us back in the EU and has been described as Teresa May in trousers; another who says he is sorry about his mistakes as health secretary now that he is making a bid to become PM; don’t they all?
Penny Mordaunt: she is another who has never had a proper job; comes across well at the dispatch box and has nice hair! But she lies and has lied seemingly about everything and refuses to admit she said anything contrary despite it all being in Hansard or in the archives; like her bigging up of her ‘naval’ career, her close association with the WEF and Bill Gates. Bins her for me.
The only two who give some hope for the future if they stay on track are the two young women of ethnic origins. Both have shown quite a good grasp of things that are currently of concern to the public and both are not cowed by more senior figures who would dismiss them as being without experience, a line many have used since both have garnered a lot more support than was believed possible. Yet even they along with all the others are pro the eco lunacy - though Kemi has rowed back on that - and vaccines forever.
Yes they are an unknown quantity as far as the top job is concerned but experience and supposed knowledge of the workings of government did not do much for the last two incumbents May and Cameron who apart from in May's case lying about her Brexit aspirations or total lack of them achieved bugger all other than tying us into an expensive commitment on net zero. So what is to lose? No one will ever meet all our individual or the country's requirements and most in recent years have met none. We as a nation have been poorly served and that is being polite. So what is to lose with such a poor batch from whom to choose?
Kemi Badenoch said this in an interview…
taking questions from him and his listeners.
Really enjoyed the debate and talking about my plan for the country.
It was interesting in the comments underneath and elsewhere how many now indoctrinated with the oppressed black narrative started to slag her off, and almost funny, the inference being she is not black enough.
But she also said this, which is better than anything anyone else has come out with during this campaign, again not difficult as they restricted themselves to sound bites, we need more sound bites like we need more promises from Pritti Patel about how she is going to stop the dinghy people.
No idea if she is right for the job, whether she could, given the chance, get through the blancmange that confronts anyone stepping outside the lines of convention, but that sadly is where we are, up shit creek, and by the time this post goes up it will probably be the usual suspects in the running.
Meanwhile waiting to ‘pounce’ should the opportunity arise we have Captain Hindsight, leader of pride parades and his sidekick that towering intellect the ginger growler. None of it bodes well, and all of them are complicit in turning the HoC into a place of disrepute full of placemen, lightweights, seat warmers, expenses troughers, chancers and outright liars who believe this behaviour, see below, is perfectly acceptable because they can.
In my old age I like to believe I have seen it all with politics but today's leaders in the western world are symptomatic of its decline. Hardly one isn’t the product of incumbent parties simply choosing leaders to protect the status quo, or the result of the backing of vested interests; as with Macron, who wishes to succeed Merkel as the de facto leader of the EU and is there only because he profited from a system that can be manipulated to get him into and keep him in power. Not really much of a recommendation, is it?
By the time this goes up no doubt it will be whittled down to Truss and Sunak. I don’t care any more, if that is the best on offer so be it. even Boris in his last PMQs was at least funny when describing Capt Hindsight as a plastic bollard and that is about the strength of it: plastic bollard, ginger growler vs woodentop or rich totally remote man in skinny suit who makes awful promotional videos. Is it all this country can offer up.
Still I did see Billy Bunter aka Gerald Campion MP for Greyfriars lurking on the back benches so there is hope yet, yaroo!…there is obviously no tax on pies yet.
